mdpmedia Pillar of the Community United States 3546 Posts	Posted 04/11/2016 06:38 am Hello, Just in case anyone is interested this 1855 Three-Cent Silver coin has the lowest mintage of all of these type coins made in the 1850s; consequently, it carries a higher premium. Let's see some opinions on the alleged aberrations: Report this Post to the Staff

An overlay should confirm or refute this. I'll throw up two shots of the same area to provide some various perspectives: Report this Post to the Staff

I can't tell what the repunched date is underneath, but there certainly is something behind both 5's. Neat item. Now you've made me go look for mine! Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/11/2016 9:50 pm When I check HeritageCoins.com, the clash was mentioned as common on the MS examples. Proof examples not as often. The RPD was present on the proof examples and the MS examples. They maybe common on the MS ones that year from what I saw and read on that site. Report this Post to the Staff
